Priorities?

Shocking. The president waits to "gather information" and to try to "avoid increasing travelers' anxiety" before "reassuring Americans" that we'll be "kept safe" from future Undie-Bombers.

Representative Peter T. King of New York, the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, criticized Mr. Obama’s silence Monday before the president’s statement. “We’re now, what, 72 hours into this and the president’s not spoken, the vice president’s not spoken, the attorney general’s not spoken and Janet Napolitano has now told two different stories in two days,” he said on Fox News. “First, she said everything worked; now she said it didn’t.”

Meanwhile, he interrupts a golf game to rush to the side of an injured child. WTF?

As Stalin once reportedly said, a single child is a tragedy, a dozen or so pants-wetting Republican Congressmen is merely a statistic.
